Contrib code is distributed as reference material only.
Usually this is done for two reasons:
(1) code can be useful for some users but is out of scope for the
project. There is no guarantee that piece of code has been adequately
tested.
(2) code might have security implications and therefore should not be
used without a careful review. It is up to individual users to decide if
it is fit for production.
In both cases we, as a project, do not support contrib code.
